"A Machine Check Exception (MCE) is a type of computer hardware error that occurs when a computer's central processing unit detects a hardware problem." "Normal causes for MCE errors include overheating and/or incorrect hardware installation. Specific manually-induced causes include: overclocking (which normally increases heat-output) poorly-fitted heatsink/computer fans (the same problem can happen with excessive dust in the CPU fan) an overloaded internal or external power-supply (fixable by upgrading) " _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
